Markel Areitio Cedrún (born 7 September 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for SCD Durango.
Club career
Born in Iurreta, Biscay, Areitio played youth football for Iurretako KT and Athletic Bilbao.[1] He made his debut as a senior for the latter's farm team in 2014, in the Tercera División.
Areitio was released by Athletic on 8 June 2015,[2] signing for SCD Durango the following month.[3] In July 2016 he moved to fellow fourth-tier CD Vitoria, SD Eibar's reserves.[4]
On 17 September 2016, Areitio was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against Sevilla FC, as starter Asier Riesgo was suspended.[5] Later that day, he came on as a second-half substitute for Bebé in a 1–1 draw at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium after Yoel was sent off.[6]
After leaving Eibar in June 2019, a brief spell in the Segunda División B with CD Izarra notwithstanding,[7] Areitio plied his trade at amateur clubs in his native Basque Country.[8] [9]
Personal life
Areitio comes from a family of goalkeepers: his grandfather Serafin Cedrún played for Barakaldo,[10] [11] his great-uncle Carmelo Cedrún was a Spanish international, while his uncle Andoni Cedrún appeared in more than 300 league matches for Real Zaragoza.[12] Another uncle Carmelo Mardaras also played for Barakaldo, though as an outfield player.[13] [14]
